kyle Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 I saw this and was like WTF I didn't post that! Then I saw this is from 2003. Do you still agree with your ten picks? I still like all 10 of those games but no some of them would no longer be in my top 10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NE146 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 (edited) Am I the only one who thinks that Pitfall and Pitfall II are so-so games? I think Pitfall 1 is so so.. and thought that ever since I first played it once I got over the "wow" of the graphics. Pitfall 2 on the other hand is a pretty amazing 2600 experience, Am I the only one who thinks the entire Activision library is so-so (great graphics, but insipid, unimaginative gameplay)? No.. a lot of us here feel exactly that, myself included. It's been argued here over and over again in the past. I really disliked the timed Activision games in particular (Freeway, etc.) but there are some gems I love like Enduro and Hero. But yeah Imagic is the one to beat imho.

Haven't tried Pitfall 2, so I'll have to check it out on emulator sometime soon (unless anybody knows where i can get a copy on the cheap ) I like the Imagic stuff, too. They seemed very consistent with both graphics and gameplay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frostbite76 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 1. Enduro 2. Frostbite 3. H.E.R.O. 4. Jr. Pac Man 5. Battlezone 6. Ms. Pac Man 7. Donkey Kong 8. Crystal Castles 9. Stargate/Defender II 10. Lock 'n' Chase Am I the only one who thinks that Pitfall and Pitfall II are so-so games? Am I the only one who thinks the entire Activision library is so-so (great graphics, but insipid, unimaginative gameplay)? Sorry, don't mean to be heretical, sacriligious, etc., but I get bored with all the Activision worship in the atari community. Anyways, here's my top ten list for the Activision fans to scoff at: 1 Adventure 2 Haunted Adventure Trilogy (a hack, but plays like an highly original homebrew) 3 Yar's Revenge 4 Gorf 5 Buck Rogers Planet of Zoom (fast and furious) 6 Stellar Track (zero graphics but fun strategy game) 7 Raster Fahndung (homebrewed visual analysis type game) 8 Gravitar (also makes my top 10 most difficult list!) 9 Off the Wall (my favorite variant of breakout) 10 Threshold (underrated shooter with goofy but lovable graphics Were I to expand the list to top 20 games, I admit I'd have to include a couple Activision games, probably Kaboom and Private Eye. Possibly Robot Tank. I disagree with the Activision Comment. They made many great games for the system. I would say about 8 of my top 25 favorite 2600 games are from Activision and I'm not alone. I also love Parker Brothers almost as much. Probably have about 5 in my top 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schizophretard Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3XPKIuHw6c For your number 2 you said there were no other hockey games. For your number one you said the paddle games are some of the best games. If you fuse your one and two together you get Video Olympics.
